The Lonsdale Oscuro by Cuervo y Sobrinos
Cuervo y Sobrinos, the only Swiss watch brand with Cuban heritage, has now released a model inspired by watches they produced in the mid-20th century.
The Lonsdale comes in 3 different versions in an edition of 82 pieces of each model.
It is delivered in a beautiful presentation box similar to a humidor including a cigar tube and a cigar stand.
The watch is produced in collaboration with some cigar smoking watch collectors who together came up with this idea.

On this model, the dial is brown and the case is made of stainless steel with a diameter of 40mm.
The movement is an automatic CYS5159 (based on the SW261), approximately 38 hours of power reserve.
It gives a nice vintage feel.
Here with the right accessories.
The dial stands up to close inspection.
A small second hand at 6 o'clock position.
The sapphire crystal has a soft rounded edge and the logo is at the crown.
A dark brown calfskin strap with quick release springbars with a stainless steel clasp and also a yellow "NATO" strap are included.
Lonsdale is printed in orange at the polished backcase.
There is Super Luminova at the hands, numbers and 2 dots at 12 & 6 position. Not so strong but for a short period of time.
Finally, I want to say that it is an interesting watch that I was immediately hooked on when I saw it in Geneva.
